    reads description. "announce YOUR fan favorite games" nice shot at the game awards.
  • @GobboAlexander
    Pretty sad that Astral Chain didn't win the Most Glorious Graphics poll... Oh well. LM did have good points. Cadence winning music is on point, though Astral Chain has excellent music too. When I started listening to this, I didn't expect to be so in for Astral Chain, but it's a new IP and was fantastic in practically every measure for me.

    Honestly, Luigi's Mansion 3 is one of the best co-op experiences I've had.my friend I just had fun destroying the hotel and getting gold, and I found the moments where we discussed how to figure out each puzzle to be very engaging as well.
  • Three Houses won all fair and square expect best RPG & most sensational story. That's Dragon Quest 11S, if you're wondering. Get both of these games btw EDIT: Also are you kidding me Nintendo staff, not even you nominated Astral Chain & Fire Emblem: Three Houses for best OST lol
  • @krissjames7276
    AI: The Somnium Files not even being nominated for most sensational story is a crime.
  • @Chair-Son
    to nobody's surprise FE3H wins the players choice GOTY
  • @Aaronatorr

  • @Qeisama
    Yes! FE Three houses is my personal GOTY! As a longtime FE player, I really welcome the changes. The mechanics of exploring the schoolground. UGH! What a nice addition.

  • I’m glad Fire Emblem won Most Sensational Story it definitly deserves it compared to DQ11 S Dimitri’s route is easily the best example I can give!!!!
  • @zerochill4096
    I felt that Astral Chain should have gotten Sweetest Graphics, but more people played LM3 than AC. Actually, not enough people playing Astral Chain in general pretty much guaranteed that it wouldn't win anything. Play Astral Chain please. It's a new IP with a lot of potential.
  • @zash2797
    Fire Emblem Three Houses more than deserved to win! It was soooo good and the fact that it won best story was no surprise because in my honest opinion Fire Emblem games usually have great story's!
